Hi Kim,

I am so so so shaken with this new wave of what has to be done in order that Elderberries can continue forth. I had a very interesting dream on Mount St. Odille where I was with Sergei and we held off the dragon but Sergei was wounded....but I was in this full head gear like the Kwan Yin and like Gondalf i was able to cease the dragon with the force of my inner power...it was really really something so every time I start to slip into this fear that wants to overtake me I recall that moment and I can make this strange stand within me that does not let that fear penetrate....and yet still be caring and compassionate without having to be something I am not like falsely, without consciousness, recognize what is going on.....

Anyhow, I really really really want to look at this with King David and Saul and I can't wrap my head around it right now but I will hold what you are offering to look at as I move through my days.

All good things and much love,

Dottie

"If there is something more powerful than destiny, this must be the human being who bears destiny unshaken."Rudolf Steiner

This text is also interesting, and I think it means more than Jonathan and David is buddies:

1 Samuel 18:1 It happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul

Jonathan sounds familiar, John?

Before David comes into play, Jonathan had proven himself:

1 Samuel 14:45 The people said to Saul, "Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God this day!" So the people rescued Jonathan, that he didn't die

The daughter of Saul and wife of David, Michal, is also an interesting name:

2 Samuel 4:4 Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son who was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the news came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it happened, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.

The problem with the feet we also find by Oedipus, who is the one who fought Ahriman. The name Mephibosheth is also interesting in this connection.

It's in a way funny with the likeliness of Saul and Soul:)

Doctors doing studies. One of them in the last year on Oprah Winfrey. Pretty interesting that little by little these things are becoming known. Not only that but to hear regular conversations of people 'thinking' instead of repeating, we find the same considerations when talking about the heart and its functions. Suddenly it is making more sense to people in general that maybe its not just a pump when taking into consideration what came first, the chicken or the egg. Doctors following the embryo are beginning to verfy little by little Rudolf Steiner's considerations from over a hundred years ago when they didn't have the equipment they do now.

All good things Peter,

Dottie

"If there is something more powerful than destiny, this must be the human being who bears destiny unshaken."Rudolf Steiner

"not only are doctors coming the understanding that the heart is not a pump"

Hi, really interested about where this information comes from?

Thanks,

Pete.

Instead, the findings suggest that the last common ancestor of humans and primates, which existed nearly 2 million years earlier, was a primitive creature that shared few traits with modern-day members of either group.> > > > The findings, analyzed in a large group of studies published Thursday in the journal Science, also indicate that our ancestors began walking upright in woodlands, not on grassy savannas as prior generations of researchers had speculated.> > > > The discovery of the specimen called Ardipithecus ramidus "is one of the most important discoveries for the study of human evolution," said paleoanthropologist David Pilbeam of Harvard University, who was not involved in the research. "The find itself is extraordinary, as were the enormous labors that went into the reconstruction of a skeleton shattered almost beyond repair," he said in an e-mailed
statement.> > > > "It is so rare to get a more or less complete skeleton," said paleoanthropologist Andrew Hill of Yale University. "In the entire course of human evolution, at least until you get to Neanderthals, there are only three to four available. We can always tell so much more from a skeleton" than from the jawbones and skulls that are more commonly found.> > > > The fossils described in the new studies were found 15 years ago in the Afar Triangle of Ethiopia by a team led by paleoanthropologist Tim White of UC Berkeley. But White and his team have been relatively closemouthed about the fossils, and other researchers -- some of whom have accused him of hoarding the fossils for his own use -- have been eagerly awaiting more information.> > > > Today, they are getting a surfeit: Eleven papers by 47 authors, and a similar number of short summaries prepared by each paper's authors.>
> > > The fossils were found in a layer of sediment sandwiched between two layers of volcanic ash, each dating from 4.4 million years ago -- indicating that the fossils are also of that age.> > > > In addition to the nearly complete fossil specimen of the female primate, which investigators have dubbed Ardi, the team found more than 100 fossils from 36 other members of the same species.> > > > "These fossils are much more important than Lucy," the 3.2-million-year-old specimen of Australopithecus afarensis that was found in the Afar desert in the 1970s, said paleoanthropologist Alan Walker of Pennsylvania State University, who was not involved in the research. "The reason is that when Lucy was found, we already knew the major features of Australopithecus from fossils found in the 1940s. . . . These fossils are of a completely unknown creature, and are much stranger and more primitive than
Australopithecus."> > > > The White team also found fossils of 29 species of birds, primarily small ones like doves, lovebirds, mousebirds, passerines and swifts, as well as several that were previously unknown. Animal fossils included 20 new species of small mammals, including shrews, bats, rodents, hares and small carnivores, as well as larger animals, including baboons, colobus monkeys and spiral-horned antelopes.> > > > Fossilized wood, seed and other plant remains indicate the presence of hackberry, fig and palm trees. Collectively, these finds indicate that the environment was more humid and cooler than it is today, and contained grassy woodland with forest patches.> > > > Today, the Afar is a desert. But go back in a time machine and "4.4 million years ago, this was really a different world," White said. "We look up in the trees and we see that they are full of monkeys. We look around on
the ground and we see that there are a lot of kudus. And we see an occasional hyena. And we see elephants and we see lots of small mammals."> > > > This whole collection of data "gives us information we have never had before about human evolution," said paleoanthropologist C. Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University, one of the primary authors of the papers. "The whole savanna theory goes out the window in terms of it being the explanation for upright walking. . . . And the idea that we evolved from something like a chimpanzee also goes out the window."> > > > Ardi stood about 47 inches tall and probably weighed 110 pounds. Many researchers previously believed that such an early ancestor would, like modern chimps, be a knuckle-walker, using the knuckles for support while moving on all fours. Instead, Ardi appears to have climbed on all fours on branches, but walked upright on the ground. Her feet, like those of
monkeys but not chimps, were designed more for propulsion than for grasping.> > > > Her face had a projecting muzzle, giving her an ape-like appearance, but many features of her skull, such as the ridge above the eye socket, are quite different than those of chimpanzees. Her brain is about the same size as Lucy's.> > > > Her hands lacked many of the specializations that allow modern-day African apes to swing, hang and easily move through trees. Those specializations apparently evolved in large primates after they separated from the last common ancestor with humans more than 6 million years ago. (Few fossils of such primates are available because they lived primarily in forests, which are not conducive to preservation of bone.)> > > > The finds "are turning evolution on its head," Lovejoy said.> > > > The most controversial aspects of the papers involve the authors' --
particularly Lovejoy's -- interpretations of what the fossils say about behavior. Of particular importance, he said, is that the sizes of males and females were about the same, and that the specimens do not have large, sharp canine teeth. Both findings suggest that the fierce, often violent competition among males for females in heat that characterizes gorillas and chimpanzees was absent in Ardipithecus.> > > > That implies, Lovejoy concluded, that the males were beginning to enter into monogamous relationships with females and devoted more time to caring for their young than did earlier ancestors.> > > > "This is a restatement of Owen Lovejoy's ideas going back almost three decades, which I found unpersuasive then and still do," Pilbeam said.> > > > Hill was more blunt, calling Lovejoy's speculation "patent nonsense."> > > > thomas.maugh@> > > > >
